That’s a funny way to say “Trump campaign manipulates emotions of grieving parents”

A scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with a little “chili crunch” oil - salty and sweet, spicy and creamy… it’s great.

I don’t go to McDonalds much any more, but I’d get fries and a vanilla shake to do that with, as a treat!

I remember reading at the start of Covid in the US, when the government was saying “masks are dumb”, but local churches were going “masks save lives”, the churches were surprised at how much pushback they were getting.

Turns out raising someone from a young age to believe without questioning, and look up to one person as their only source of truth, and ignore compelling scientific evidence, is pretty hard conditioning to break.

I think you have a valid point that echo chambers are bad, and that we should all strive to find good sources and not just rely one one side of the story.

But -

I think we have. Lots of people understand that idea, and lots of people have kept open channels to ideas outside what they believe. And I can only speak for myself, but MY “other side” time observing and participating in conservative forums online, talking with people in my very-red state, and watching Fox News, has done nothing to convince me that i need to hear one god-damn word from either of those two lying, conniving jack-asses.

One dude’s opinion. Your mileage may vary. Please consult your doctor before starting any kind of exercise program. Thanks for your time.

Who f’ing cares…. Neither of those two has anything to say, that needs to be heard.

I like it!

My thoughts as well… “here’s what to know: the Supreme Court is corrupt as hell”

Strong stuff, and I’m here for it! I hope he suffers the indignity of itching, without the relief of scratching!

I feel like the current establishment wouldn’t allow an FDR-style candidate to succeed, they’re making too much money from protecting the status quo.

But I’ll still grudgingly support them if Trump is the other option. I’ll vote progressive in my local elections, but as long as we still have a first-to-the-post election process, it’s always the lesser of two evils.

Isn’t it the case that whoever wins this one, they’ll be the oldest president in US history? Gross.

Saddling up to the bar of a cyberpunk ramen shop to ask real questions with my real voice

I want this guy to argue with me at the ramen shop:

“Four…no, two,two; four! (sigh)… with noodles.”

The enemy gate is down, Ender!

LOL “jug hooters”… I love it!

I wish they’d required him to endure cross-examination… I’d love to see a competent lawyer dismantle his entire baloney-sandwich machine in front of his followers.

Ugh, frickin’ Dave…

Bam!

Firmly in tinfoil hat territory here, buuuuut… Let’s say he gets forced out or leaves in shame… doesn’t this just turn into Mitch McConnell or someone stonewalling that Biden can’t appoint a new Judge because it’s “so close” to elections again, and then if (Baphomet forbid) Trump wins, they jam a younger-but-just-as-partisan judge in there, and we get Thomas II, electric boogaloo?

Please don’t misunderstand - Thomas sucks and I’d LOVE to see him off the bench, disbarred, and charged for his offenses. But I just don’t immediately see how this would be different from when RBG kicked the bucket.

That was my reaction too; “US to push Israel to scale back war… while providing Israel with the means and support to escalate that war”.
